Afterschool Time Fosters Student Success in New Mexico
Post, pin or tweet the infographic below & help spread the word about the demand, need & support for afterschool programs!
STEM: Before & Afterschool & Summer Learning
"There is an urgent need to improve science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills among U.S. students."
Nearly 80% of future careers will require some STEM skills. A stimulating STEM education is essential for developing the basic analytical, problem-solving and critical thinking skills central to academic achievement and workforce readiness in the 21st century.
Schools can't tackle this issue by themselves.
Children spend less than 20% of their waking hours in school. Afterschool programs offer both additional time and the opportunity to diversify the ways that students experience STEM learning.
Afterschool programs complement and supplement school-day learning and are well-positioned to engage and motivate participants. By offering innovative hands-on, project-based learning, STEM fields come alive for youth.
